Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to actinomycin D; protein stabilization; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on G1 to G0 transition and regulation of G1 to G0 transition. Located in ribosome. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is active in postsynaptic density. Orthologous to human RPL23 (ribosomal protein L23). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Rpl23 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
